It has been a stated policy of Wizards R&D to make white weenie a force to reckon with again. Each time they fail to do so. Has Betrayers done it? In my drafting experience, I only saw one guy go for white, and he ended up losing to a 10-year old. This is a review of white cards from Betrayers for their use in Limited and white weenie decks. The sarcasm is a freebie.

, with a 1W or WW cost. At 4cc and Legendary, it is fit only if your theme deck is Legends or you happen to draft a ridiculous amount of Legends to put in your booster draft deck, say at least 6-7 Legends.

– Grade C+ I like this in draft, as it makes a nice blocker that can occasionally attack and give you a bit of life for defense. I don’t see this being constructed worthy, save for maybe a rogue control deck.

– Grade C I already have a strong collection of these, as I hate drafted them with a passion at the prereleases. They nullify a strong attacker of your opponents, but then you give him an invincible blocker. If you want a permanent blocker on your side, go ahead and draft it. This is not constructed worthy.

s. Not only because they did the ability better, but because they had neat, better artwork. (I love bears; they’re not totally awesome like penguins are, but they are up there.) Plus, they are currently (2/4/05) cheaper than Hokori. Horoki should be considered a “trick” card for Limited, and that’s it.

Hundred-Talon Strike – Grade B- Used correctly, it is decent creature kill for white, and has a relatively cheap Splice cost. Could slip in few constructed decks.

’s Prayer effect on a solid creature. Good for both offense and defense. A worthy card for Limited even if you don’t have any foxes. Depending on the quality of foxes available, it may see play in Kamigawa Constructed.

– Grade A- This is the white card from Betrayers that everyone is talking about. It is a powerful card, and may show up in Extended. However, given how weak White is in Type 2 now, I don’t expect to see it there anytime soon.
